protest. and we're seeing more types of protests in benghazi, libya, the counter protesters, trying to get rid of those who they say are responsible for the attacks on the u.s. consulate that killed four americans. >> the demonstrators began to take the situation into their own hands and storming the various known headquarters of the extremist militia in benghazi. the counterprotesters took over one militia building without firing a single shot. and militia members fled. the counter-protesters were met by some resistance. four were killed, dozens injured last night in benghazi. more from the scene, 12 minutes away. at least 166 people were killed today in syria, with government forces shelling aleppo and damascus suburbs. this comes as leaders of the

rebel free syria army are moving into the territories. it has many former soldiers who defected from president al-assaad's regime. the leader says it is time to start free damascus. and pleading for her husband's safe return. robert levinson disappeared off of iran's coast while investigate i investigating cigarette smuggling for a private company. now billboards with his picture are up in new york's times square, with hopes that the president of iran, mahmoud ahmadinejad, will see them. his wife is pleading for a meeting and has a message for her husband. >> we'll never, ever, ever, stop looking for you. i miss you every day. love you. >> the levinson family received a video of a much thinner and

sicker bob about two years ago, but they have not heard from him since. the white house hopefuls, out in force this weekend. we're going to start with the running mates. that is vice president joe biden and his wife, jill, on the second day through new hampshire. and republican vice presidential candidate paul ryan in florida, holding a town hall meeting in orlando, this morning, he held a rally in havana's neighborhood. meanwhile, president obama is in wisconsin this hour, a state he won handily four years ago, but it is also a state he has not visited since february. so why is he there now? let's bring in athena jones, she

is there now. hello, is the president's show a sign of strength or a sign of concern? >> reporter: hi, don, well, you know that is a good question, the president has a "wisconsin problem" because he ignored the state for years. but he won it back by 14 points. but the spokesperson said they always knew the state would be closer than it was last time around. that could be something to do with the surge in republican activity here, activity among republicans, republican groups regarding the recall fight for governor scott walker, which he was able to survive. so they were able to see a sense of the republicans ground game, that is also something that campaign manager jim mes messins touched on. i will say that three recent polls show the president is ahead of romney here in the polls, averaging him up 52% to

43. so this is certainly a state they want to keep in the blue column. and that is why they're here, don. >> all right, listen, i hear the president is hanging out with a sports legend in wisconsin? >> reporter: that is right, you know he just wrapped up two fundraisers with hank aaron, one was a lower fundraiser, $250, the other, a much higher dollar fundraiser, about $25,000. they will probably bring in more than $630,000 at that event. he is on his way now, stopped for bratwurst at a local joint in milwaukee. >> when you are up there, you just have to shorten it to brats. all right, appreciate that, members of congress heading home, leaving town. they left behind a lot of unfinished business.

the so-called fiscal cliff that makes up tax hikes and spending cuts go into effect in january if congress fails to act. and if placing blame was an achievement, you could say congress accomplished quite a bit before leaving town. but the fact is, grid lock still rules on capitol hill, even when it comes to the looming deadline that will force drastic spending cuts across the board, and could put the u.s. back into a recession, as we look at a live shot of the capitol now. our cnn congressional correspondent dana bash has the report for you. >> reporter: the capitol parking lot full of cars, ready to take the house members out of town, but not before both sides took final turns in the blame game that has others set up. >> republicans have to come back and finish their work, not cut

and run and walk away from the american people. shame on them. >> the president obama won't work with us to find common ground or urge senate democrats to take action. why? it is because democrats have failed to lead. >> reporter: the list of unf unfinished business is seemingly endless, the farm bill, a five-year measure, governing everything from farm bills to food stamps, and requires drought relief for drought-stricken farmers. most issues they want to address are locked in grid lock, postal reform, and violence against women act which expires at the end of the year. never mind the really tough stuff, the so-called fiscal cliff, when tax cuts expire and numbers kick in december 31st is. anybody who wonders why congress

has a very low approval rating should watch and listen. watch the exodus to go campaign, and watch as each party skewers the other. >> never, never have the party done so little to address the challenges as great as the ones our nation faces right now. >> it is a wonder we have gotten anything done at all, considering the lack of cooperation the democrats have gotten from the republican colleagues. >> there are nearly 40 of our jobs bills sitting over in the united states senate. all part of the plan for american job creators. >> congressional republicans want to run away, but you know what? you can run, but you cannot hide from your record. >> they have not passed a budget in more than three years. >> time and time again, my republican colleagues have stalled or blocked perfectly good pieces of legislation to score points with the tea party. >> they have not passed a single appropriation bill. they haven't passed a defense

authorization bill for the first time in -- a half a century. these things are usually about as standard as turning the lights on. they haven't done any of them. it is a disgrace. >> there is one very important thing congress is doing before leaving town, and that is passing a bill to fund the government for six months to make sure it does not shut down. but that is not exactly worthy of accolades, considering the only reason they're doing this stop gap bill is that they never sent one of the 12 step bills they were supposed to, to the president's desk. all right, thank you, a dangerous new twist in the case of the anti-muslim film that caused protests around the world. a bounty is on the head of the man who made the film, and the taliban and the al qaeda are encouraging people to go for it. and more about a hostage had taker, talking not to police, but to people on facebook. but plenty of companies do that.

people here and the government say were in fact, behind the attack that took ambassador steven's life and the life of three other americans. what happened on friday, hundreds of these pro-democracy demonstrators began to take matters into their own hands and began to storm the various militias in the city of benghazi, including this militia. if you will remember's the libyan government has said that it has detained individuals who are a part of this group, in association with the attack on the u.s. consulate. although they say the group, as a whole was not behind that assault. >> arwa damon, in benghazi, thank you very much. and prejudice is bad for society, but is it bad for you, as in can it make you sick? that is next. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios

angeles, so wendy, the study suggests the two are fundamentally connected, prejudice and depression, explain how it is linked. >> reporter: okay, don, dr. cox and his team looked at the two areas, depression and prejudice, and discovered that some of the fundamentals are the same. in other words, it involves negative patterns. the big difference is whether they're projected outward to an outgroup, or whether they're prejudiced inward to themselves. so victims of prejudice, who are prone to depression, but others who may be prejudiced against themselves. they may not like certain things about themselves, as if they are the out-group. >> you know we hear the sayings, the old expression, when you point a finger you have three pointing back at you. there is some truth to that. >> reporter: well, there is, and for this is like to go back to the old history books, the carl

young's philosophy, the shadow. sometimes when we're thinking negatively about other people it may be actually a part of ourselves that is not tolerable, so yeah, i think sometimes people who are bigots or prejudice, may actually be feeling those things about themselves. >> is there anything that can make them move away from the prejudice-like acts, is it that simple? >> well, the part of the study is really for experts to understand some of the ideas used to treat depression, may be used to treat prejudice, and vice versa. so what we consider, this is two

d d distinct areas. >> by 20-20, depression will be second to heart disease as the top global health disorder. so the human race is getting more and more depressed. what is going on here? >> okay, let's break it down, first of all, you're just born sort of happy or not, about 50% you can account is biology. another ten% could do with environment or money, usually people pulling themselves out of poverty. there is not a big difference between the middle class, or the upper middle class. then you have this 40, that has to do with our own behaviors. and the only proven natural anti-depressants are exercise, healthy relationships with family, loved ones and third, altruism, giving back to the society. so why do they predict this?

look at the capability. we have more broken relationships, less link to community. exercising a lot less. all of these things are the environmental pieces that can contribute to depression. >> wow, good advice, get moving, do good things, and that will help. thank you, wendy. >> we all should do that every day. >> aolutely, thank you. >> thanks. and a former fbi agent disappears, his wife has a message. >> well never, ever, ever stop looking for you. i miss you every day. love you. >> the bold moves this man's family is making to bring him home. and you can watch cnn live on your computer, from work, just go to cnn.com/tv. of a hear. that's true. ...but you still have to go to the gym. ♪ the one and only, cheerios

pittsburgh police investigating now an unusual hostage situation taking place in a pittsburgh downtown building. a gunman took several people hostage in a scene that lasted more than four hours. they're not sure yet why the 22-year-old man picked this location. but as police tried to talk to the hostage-taker, he was talking to people on facebook, posting status updates. he raised concerns from family and friends saying they would never have to worry about him again, and that he lost everything. he wrote on facebook, he couldn't take it anymore, and i'm done. defense attorney holly hughes is here, now holly, nobody got hurt. that is good news, didn't really make any demands. criminal suspects have called family and friends before during a crime. but this is a conversation we

could all see. it is interesting, so what? i don't know, is this conversation protected on line? can it -- >> no, it is not legally protected. it is out there, it is public. and you know i read this story and i read it a couple of times, don, because i wanted to make sure, i got all the facts. and it sounds to me like this man just really wanted to be caught. he did what he did publicly. so it was not just, oh, there is witnesses in the building. he then goes on to facebook, which is not protected and admits what he is doing and putting it all out there. >> okay, this defense team, he has to go to court obviously. can they use it, and say look what he was posting at the time? >> well, they're going to have to try to spin it. both sides will use it. because the state will say he clearly knew what he was doing, because he was very clear, logical, knew how to use the electronics and posted it on facebook. the defense will say this is a cry for help, he clearly doesn't want to be a criminal.

because he is saying what he is doing. and again when we read the facts of the case, he didn't make any demands whatsoever. he didn't hurt anybody, he is talking to friends saying i'm checking out, almost like either let the police shoot me or take me to jail. and somebody take care of him. so the defense wl have a psychological done on him. >> so if somebody goes into my e-mail, that is a crime, right? >> if they hack -- >> at the time when he is doing this -- can they go into that, and change -- >> well, facebook is public. so they can see any and everything that he is posting on his wall. >> except for private messages -- >> correct, correct, that would be subpoenaed after the fact. they can subpoena those records but you have a safety exception. exigent circumstances, if a criminal goes in your house, they're not going to stop and

indepth, exploring the issues that impact voters. today, a look at president obama and mitt romney's plans for the military. here is our foreign correspondent, barbara star. >> reporter: how many troops and just what weapons are needed to defend the nation. president obama and governor mitt romney each are making a different case. governor romney has said he wants to significantly add to our conventional forces. >> we must have a commitment not just to more ships and aircraft, but also in my view, more members of the armed forces. >> reporter: president obama wants a smaller conventional force, and five hundred million in pentagon cuts over the next ten years. >> and so long as i am commander-in-chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. >> reporter: let's start with the romney plan. the candidate says he favors a larger force of naval ships and aircraft, but has not said how he would pay for it.

romney has also said he wants to add 100,000 troops to the current force of 1.4 million. now, for a look at obama's plan. as part of 500 billion dollars in spending cuts, president obama says he wants to get rid of older ships and delay buying new ones. he also proposes cutting the army by some 66,000 and reducing the marine corp by another 20,000. obama envisions continuing use of small special forces teams and unmanned drones, but some say not so fast. >> there is no objection at all to having drones, the unmanned surface vehicles, all kinds of unmanned vehicles. the issue is, to what extent do you rely almost exclusively on

unmanned drones? for president obama, they have had results without risking putting u.s. troops on the ground. he told cnn's jessica yelen? >> it has to be a situation in which we can't capture the individual before they move forward on some sort of operational plot, against the united states. >> i don't think whether obama or romney wins we're going to see this technology go away, or see any greater minimized use of it. because of their own approach. i think we've seen president obama's most definitely willing to utilize this. it has been a signature part of his countterrorism agenda, and it would be very hard for romney to roll that back, even if he wanted to. >> reporter: whether it is romney or obama in the oval office, the bigger problem with drones may be the international pushback from government and

human rights groups increasingly voicing their opposition. barbara star, cnn, the pentagon. >> all right, barbara, for election coverage just go to cnn.com. when you look at the names of this year's emmy nominees, well, you may see those who wouldn't think of working in tv, suddenly doing it. we'll look at the emmy's a-list, and don't forget, you can watch cnn live while you're at work and even on your smartphone. head to cnn.com/tv. i thought i'd lost you. surfing is my life now. but who's going to .... tell the world that priceline has even faster, easier ways to save you money. . . on hotels, flights & cars? you still have it. i'll always have it. so this is it? we'll see where the waves take me. sayonara, brah!
